I Wish I Had a Castle in the Sky ( OPEN )

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: All over America
WHEN: Nov. 14th-24th
WHAT: The Cosmic Cube is creating multiple realities for all the imPorts. Where are these "universes" coming from and who is wielding it? Are you strong enough to withstand the temptation of a new reality and thwart this misguided attempt at happiness?
WARNINGS: N/A

Hey, Davis! Did you move anything? I've got that Barnes kid's stuff logged. [ He has a digital tablet propped up on a clean, steel table full of plastic bags and baskets filled the different paraphernalia. It's rather reminiscent to an experience in the American security line at the airport. One such basket belongs to James Buchanan Barnes. ] Think something's missing. Says six item's logged, but only—Davis?

[ The man was right there a second ago, wasn't he? Looking around there's no signs John Davis had been there at all, except for in his memory. Shit, has he been talking to himself this whole time? Well, it isn't anything important. The string bean isn't going to miss one dumb little paperweight or whatever it was.

Little does he know just how powerful it is... ]



[ John spares no time or energy leaving Cap Canaveral. He doesn't even put up his cleaning cart before he's zipping through security at the blink of an eye. People've been calling him crazy for so long it's isolated him from the regular rhythm of society, but it's all been worth it for this chance. He will be a hero finally, just like the rest of the imPorts he idolizes. People will start to think twice about him and everyone else with powers. They will have the rights they need to protect this country and keep the Commies out.

This is the energy driving him to hold a dangerous item in his possession. He doesn't know a whole lot about it, only what he's gleaned from gossip rags and conspiracy theory websites. But it's worth the chance to find himself in prison, or worse. In the security of his lonely little apartment he holds the Cube in his hands as it pours out tremendous power. Without words it becomes in tune with his inner self and his wishes. It feeds off of it to create something more than itself. In his world imPorts will have just what they want, whatever it is, however contradictory.

But in truth, what good can come out of a thief too wrapped up in his own fantasies? That is no hero, and John cannot truly control the power he is playing with. As it feeds, the air around him turns hot—too hot to even breath. It's like the oxygen is burning up before it reaches his lungs. The world around him begins to fade as he holds on for dear life, but in the end his consciousness is snuffed out; a small sacrifice for a new world. ]

[It was obvious from the way he was being careful with his questions that he was feeling slightly cautious. Nike will shrug her arms a bit.]

It's more of the first now that I've heard the great news. Don't worry, nothing uneventful has happened. I've just been noticing you've been busy lately that I thought I'd buy us something good to eat to help keep up your strength. Especially now that you'll be busy.

[There are a few nights where she's return after closing time, late at night, that she's notice her grandpa still at his lab, working. She knew he was strong and could take care of himself just fine, but she can't help in wanting to help him in little ways. Food just so happens to be one of her areas of expertise, for the most part.]

Ready to eat though? I think tonight will be a wonderful way to celebrate the good news on your new business taking off so very well. Your deliveries won't take you too far away, I hope, or else we may need to talk about getting you an assistant to help you or a vehicle to take you there. I don't mind pooling some extra money for it.
4thdimensional: (it works!)

[He nodded and brought out the tea, poured carefully as always. He knew how much she loved this set, and they could both use calming at the moment.]

I'm setting myself some limits, my dear. The last thing I want to do is spend my nights away, not when I would much rather be here with you. I'll have to travel sometimes, but this is home---and if all goes well, I don't believe the money will be an issue.

[He snapped his cookie before eating it, as always.]

Though I have some potential deals in some attractive cities, if you can find the time to travel with me.

[She really did enjoy the tea he was pouring for her. Chocolate Monkey Tisane tea was her all time favorite. It had chocolate, banana, and pink peppercorn all into one. Taking her cup, she lightly blow on it before taking a sip.]

Of course I will! Someone needs to keep an ey--I mean, keep you company while you're on the road. It's always better to do these things with company than alone. Makes the trips more memorable.

[There will be a small, awkward laugh as she tries to hide her earlier slip up over revealing that she knows her grandpa could be adventurous and can attract trouble at times. She knows he can take care of himself, but she can't help want to to be there to support her all the same. Taking a cookie from the batch, she will begin to dip it in her tea as she usually does.]

And if everything does go well, then I can quit my job and help you out 24/7 with the company. Who knows where our little business can turn into in the future. Most large companies were all founded by a small, family owned business, right?

[Doc hears her concern---it's impossible to miss, she's always so worried about him. And deep down, he knows he needs someone to keep him grounded. He's so lucky it's her.

He reaches across the table and squeezes her wrist.]


If that comes to pass...it would be my greatest honor. I'll work for it as long as I live. But the time I spend with you is worth more than any company fortune.
